Chapter 148: Parting Dinner
Merlin's last answer was also unexpected by Lolo, because according to Mama Teresa, the people of the temple had come to her and tried to bring something into the castle through her, and the cause of Elulia's final death was wind and cold, which was obviously only superficial, but there was no obvious sign of injury on her body, so poisoning was the most likely method.
But now Merlin's statement completely ruled out this possibility, and he also said that it would be difficult for outsiders to infiltrate the Breton family's residence, which would make the cause of Elulia's death even more mysterious.
Luo Luo frowned, "I don't understand, if that's the case, who killed my mother?"
"I'm sorry, I've answered your three questions, and I've fulfilled my promise as agreed, and it's time for dinner. β
Merlin said this, and the girl knew that she couldn't get any information from the other party, but she had enough information tonight, she needed a while to digest and sort it out, and she didn't have the heart to attend any more dinners, so she got up and said, "Thank you, senior, then we won't bother." β
"Tsk, that's really vigorous, but aren't you afraid that your friends will be sad if you leave like this?" Merlin shook the ice wine in his glass, and as soon as his words fell the door of the banquet hall, someone pushed open it.
Simon, Ginny, and Gage walked in from the outside, and the latter muttered as they walked, "Hey, no, I ate at this restaurant last time, and the interior is not like this, ah?!
Gage was taken aback when he saw the two of them, but then showed a touch of joy again, "What's the matter with you, didn't you still participate in the student union election a few days ago, why did you suddenly suspend school, where did you run away after being missing for so many days, it's a pity, you both of you could have become cadres with your grades." β
"We had something to do at the moment, and we were in a hurry, so we didn't have time to inform you. Lolo apologized.
"It's a pity that you not only lost the opportunity to become a cadre, but also missed a lot of big things, do you know who the new president of the next student council will be?" Gage said mysteriously.
"Simon?" said Rober.
"Damn, if you're mistaken, you can guess that," Gage's eyes widened, "Did you sneak away from the school?"
This result is actually not difficult to predict, there are many masters in Simers's freshman class, but no one is the opponent of the next head of the Grady family except Rob and Ginny, who switched souls, as long as Simon plays steadily, there will be no suspense about the position of the student council president.
This year's student union election is more lively than any previous one, but the final result is still the magic department dominant, taking nine out of ten seats, the only seat that didn't get is because Luo Luo abstained halfway, the girl was originally the best person except Simon, so it was a pity to be canceled at the last moment, but what was more exciting was the swordsman department, originally thought that after many years, he could finally break the monopoly of the magic department again, but he didn't expect Rob to suddenly disappear in the end, and the remaining seat was picked up by the thief department who had been silentγ
When Gage talked about these things, Lolo felt like she was in a different world, she knew that her school career in Siamers was over, and although she was only taking a break from school instead of dropping out, it would be difficult to return to it in the future if nothing else.
Gage obviously didn't know that the two of them were leaving Gudris, and asked with great interest, "Are you the ones who gave us the tickets to let us come here for a free tasting?"
Luo Luo shook his head, "We are also guests tonight. β
Only then did Gage notice Merlin sitting at the table, who was looking at them with his chin in his back and looking at them with interest.
At this point, Luo Luo finally knew who the other three guests Merlin invited tonight were, so that there would be people in the six positions, including them, and when everyone was seated, Merlin knocked the cup with a spoon, "Very good, since all the guests have arrived, then I announce that tonight's dinner has begun, and then please let go of your stomach and enjoy the food and wine here, don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you, even if you are drunk, I will arrange for someone to send you back." β
Lolo was still worried that the Fox Masked Man had a bad motive for bringing everyone in tonight, but as he said, Merlin didn't mention anything again, and quietly left in the middle of the dinner, leaving the banquet for the five reunited.
Lolo was still hesitating about what to say about her dropping out of school, but Ginny was already the first to speak, "When are you going to leave Guderis?"
"Leave?" Gage was stunned, "Oh, are you talking about a vacation, you're going on a trip?"
"No, I still have some things to take care of, I can't stay at the school any longer, it's a pleasure to meet you here, and if my matter is resolved in the future, I will definitely come back to you." The girl took this opportunity to finally say everything she wanted to say.
"Is it related to the temple?" Gage's words after that made everyone stunned, "Don't be surprised, so much has happened to Guderies recently, and there are people in the school who know that we have a good relationship, and some sneaky guys have asked me about you, and it would be too slow for me to guess your identity anymore." The fat man paused, and couldn't help but be curious, "Is there really any conflict between the Bretton family and the temple?"
"Hmm. Luo Luo didn't hide it either, "My mother's death is likely to be related to them. β
Gage snorted, "So what are you going to do?" β
"We've found clues and we'll keep looking for them. β
Ginny said, "We are friends, if there is anything we need help with, you can tell us, my family also has a certain influence here, although we can't confront the temple head-on, but we can still find a ship to send you away." β
The fat man thought for a moment and took out a purple gem from his pocket, "I can't help you much in the south, but if you encounter any trouble in the north, you can take this gem and find the Xiatos Chamber of Commerce." β
"Xiatos Chamber of Commerce?" Rob was a little surprised when he heard this, the Xiatos Chamber of Commerce is the second largest Chamber of Commerce on the Dawn Continent in addition to the Haifa Chamber of Commerce, but they mainly operate in the world of dwarves in the north, and the future Super Magister did not expect that Gage would still have a connection with this Chamber of Commerce.
The fat man waved his hand, "Ah, don't think about it so much, my family is just a little richer than ordinary people, and I just happen to know Syatos...... Well, a friend, he gave me this gem, but I don't need it, if only I could help you. β
Simon smiled bitterly, "I'm embarrassed by what you're doing, my family has been in decline for a long time, and there's nothing I can do to get out of it, so let's send you a message related to the church, and I don't know if you can use it, a friend told us that the temple seems to be in turmoil now, and a group of stalwarts led by Bishop Wenger have united against Vannal V, and it is possible to launch an investigation against him in the near future, and Vannal V may step down." β
